How to Make Grandmother's Sugar Cake
- Grease and flour a 6-cup fluted tube pan.
- Melt 1/4 cup oleo (or butter) over low heat. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- In a large bowl, beat 3 large eggs and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar together until light and fluffy and the sugar is completely dissolved (about 5 minutes using a mixer).
- Add the zest of 1 lemon, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup water, and the cooled melted oleo to the egg mixture.
- Blend well until just combined.
- Gradually fold in the sifted flour mixture in four additions, mixing gently after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 40-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
